摘要： A method and apparatus for the production of sound that may be in the form of musical tones using a slackline as the vibrational sound source and a vibrational tracking clip with an electroacoustic transducer such as a microphone, pickup or piezoelectric crystal mounted in close proximity to the slackline to transmit the vibrational sound waves from the slackline to an amplifier, a computer, tablet, mobile device, a digital recording system or other digital device and speaker to record, playback and/or modify the sound using sound effect systems and/or software applications. The present invention is further related to a vibrational inducement apparatus to induce a vibration in the slackline and tone conditioning software applications implemented on a digital device having a microprocessor, memory and storage and a measuring device that measures distance, angles, position and/or movement and translates sound signals to musical tones based on these measurements.

摘要： A pedal operated configurable guitar chord player is used in conjunction with a selection software and includes a chord actuator, an actuator assembly, and a pedal. The chord actuator provides a support structure, wherein the actuator assembly is positioned within a casing and connected to a base and a mounting frame. A first clamp and a second clamp attached to the base allow the chord actuator to be attached to the neck of a guitar, wherein a plurality of actuators of the actuator assembly is positioned overtop each of the guitar strings. The plurality of actuators is controlled by a microcontroller that is communicably coupled to an electronic device through an electronic device connection means. The pedal signals the microcontroller to progress the plurality of actuators to form the subsequent chords, wherein the order of chords is determined through the selection software.

摘要： Musical instruments are described including a first portion designed to be operated by one hand of a player and a second portion designed to be operated by the other hand. The two portions include means within each for sensing hand and/or finger activity, position or movement, and one of the portions is adapted to produce an output signal corresponding to the music being played by the user. The two portions may be physically connected together or they may be separate, each including its own power supply to enable it to operate, and for the two portions to communicate with one another. The invention is of particular value in the construction of practice instruments which do not need to include a sound box, and can thus be very compact, especially if the two parts, such as a fingerboard (20) and a body (82) with strings (83) mounted on it are connected by a telescopic neck (60A).

摘要： A laser pick-up apparatus and method for a stringed musical instrument. The laser pick-up includes a laser diode affixed to the musical instrument. The laser diode is capable of generating a laser beam. The laser pick-up also includes a photodetector affixed to the musical instrument adjacent the laser diode. The photodetector is capable of detecting light from the laser beam. The photodetector includes a conversion mechanism for converting the detected light into electrical signals. The laser diode is positioned on the musical instrument to direct the laser beam toward the string. The laser beam is reflected off the string and received by the photodetector. The photodetector then converts the detected light from the reflected laser beam into electrical signals which provide sound to an amplifier.

摘要： Systems and methods are generally described for generation and transmission of musical performance data. In some examples, the musical input device may generate a first command encoding a first musical event. In various further examples, the musical input device may generate a first message corresponding to the first command, the first message encoding a first acoustic attribute type of the first musical event. In some examples, the musical input device may generate a second message corresponding to the first command, the second message encoding a second acoustic attribute type of the first musical event. In various examples, the musical input device may generate timestamp data denoting a time of an occurrence of the first musical event. In some examples, the musical input device may send the timestamp data, the first command, the first message and the second message to a computing device.
